Kick-Ass #13

Marcelo Frusin's cover for this 2019 Image series entry says everything with visual economy: a towering dark silhouette of a masked, gun-wielding figure dominates the frame, while the green-suited Kick-Ass crouches in a fighting stance across their chest — small but defiant, weapon raised. The contrast in scale alone builds a palpable sense of tension, hinting at the kind of street-level danger Steve Niles brings to this grounded superhero world. If you've been following this run, issue #13 looks like a compelling place to see how far our hero's resolve is being tested.
